He took my place
I'm crawling on my kneesalthough how they bruise and bleeds
crying to the heavens with one last plead
my heart is wrenched in grief so deep
into my soul the darkness creep
into my bones the cold it seeps
so that I can no longer speak
my head it rolls like sea waves roaring
the earth spins like a whirl wind
I fall to the ground like a lead pin
crushed by the weight of all my sin
the last breathes from my lungs are trapped within
but in that moment when all seemed lost
I saw a man upon a cross
he gazed at me with tear stained face
and whispered " I will take her place."
he bowed his head the sky grew black
I felt the weight lift off my back
I did not know that man on the tree
or why he choose to die for me
I crawled over to kneel by his feet
and wished we could have had the chance to meet
one day past and then the next I set by the sea, I think I had froze
but then a version before my nose
for there before me with arms open wide
the scars in his hands and the scar on his side
I knew it was him, but how could it be, I saw him die up on that tree
and yet some how I still was free, and that is when he said to me
my child I have come, and took your place, and saved your soul through my grace and if you will keep your faith some day I';; take you from this place
but for now I mist go away to prepare a pace for you to stay
and lo I am with you always even unto your darkest day.
